'Fruity' Celeb Baby Names Irk Singer's Daughter | Fox News 'Fruity' Celeb Baby Names Irk Singer's Daughter Published May 27, 2004 Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Email Print At least one person in Britain isn't happy movie star Gwyneth Paltrow ( search ) and her rock-star husband, Coldplay's Chris Martin ( search ), decided to name their newborn daughter "Apple." Peaches Geldof ( search ), daughter of a rock star herself, lamented the practice of goofy celebrity-offspring names in the Daily Telegraph of London Wednesday. "I am named, as you may have noticed, after a fruit," wrote the 14-year-old daughter of Boomtown Rats singer Bob "Live Aid" Geldof ( search ). "I'm not Jane or Sarah or Samantha: I am Peaches. This doesn't make sense to me at all." Young Geldof said Apple Martin has a lot of teasing to look forward to thanks to her name, and she has plenty of first-hand experience. "I've never announced my name to anyone without being asked to repeat it at least twice," she wrote.

"I also get a lot of lascivious comments: 'Ooh, you're a juicy piece of fruit, aren't you, young lady?' 'I'd like to take a bite out of that peach ...' 'Look at those peaches.'" While Geldof says life hasn't always been "peaches and cream" for her, she does see an upside to an untraditional moniker, according to the Daily Telegraph. "It's unusual, it's exotic, it's not boring. It also gives me [or so I like to think] an air of mystery." And she lists some other unusual children-of-celebrity names that make her feel Peaches isn't the worst thing one could be branded, such as David Bowie's son Zowie and Prince Jackson, son of the Gloved One. Her own sisters make the list: Fifi Trixibelle, Little Pixie and Heavenly Hiraani Tigerlily. And despite the teasing she's endured, Geldof writes that she plans to continue the tradition when she has kids.

"I'll probably end up calling it Grape." A knife-wielding stick-up artist made shopkeepers laugh when he tried to rob them wearing a plastic bag with eyeholes on his head and shopping bags on his feet, according to the Daily Telegraph of London. "Bugger off, you look silly," one gas station cashier told the poorly masked perpetrator Simon Kent, 24. Another shop worker just said no when he demanded cash. When he returned to a village store he had robbed of £350 a few weeks earlier, he fled when his plastic bag mask blew off. He also failed a liquor store robbery when the cashier locked herself in a cupboard and he could not make her come out. Two assistants in a self-service store ran away and he could not open the till. The getaway driver, Michael White, 29, used his own car and witnesses wrote down the license plate number, according to Lewes Crown Court. Other than the £350 robbery in East Sussex, only one of their other raids in Kent and Sussex was successful. Their haul was £5 and two packets of cigarettes. The men admitted two counts of robbery and five of attempted robbery. Both were jailed for five years. —Thanks to Out There reader Buz H.

Taxi! Bank Robber Calls a Cab for Getaway WEST PATERSON, NJ (AP) — An accused New Jersey bank robber needed some help with his getaway - so he asked a bank employee to call him a cab. Police say Ernest Di Falco was busted about a-half hour after the Bank of New York branch in Rutherford was robbed. According to investigators, a bank worker wrote down the taxi's license number. Even though he wore a disguise, police say another bank employee recognized Di Falco and remembered he worked in a nearby pizzeria. Officers say they've recovered the cash, a fake gun, as well as an old .22-caliber revolver. Di Falco is now charged with armed bank robbery. Student Manure Prank Backfires EMINENCE, IN (AP) — It's a senior prank that stinks. Officials at Indiana's Eminence High School say someone spread hundreds of pounds of manure around the school and smeared some on the doors. It took several trips with a front-end loader to remove the smelly stuff from school property. Superintendent Norman Stockton says it's an act of vandalism. He promises the students responsible will be prosecuted if caught.

He figures no more than a-half dozen students were involved. But the incident caused school officials to cancel a senior class trip to the Indianapolis Zoo. Senior class president Kyle Malott says all the seniors shouldn't be punished. He says rather than canceling the trip, the pranksters should have been forced to clean up the mess. – Moms & Babies – Celebrity Babies and Kids - Moms & Babies - People.com Peaches warns of Apple teasing 05/24/2004 at 01:07 AM ET Bob Geldof and Paula Yates’s daughter Peaches Honeyblossom has warned Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin that their newborn daughter Apple faces bullying and taunting for having such an unusual, fruity name.Peaches, 13, says, “At primary school I got teased a lot, just as Apple will. Fellow pupils used to shout, ‘Oi, Peaches, are you parents bananas?'”Peaches admits she is still taunted by comments such as “I’d like to take a bite out of that peach”, and “Look at those peaches”.She continues, “Why do the rich and famous give their children such ridiculous names?

Mine has haunted me all my life and will continue to do so. I am named after a fruit. It doesn’t make sense at all. When I tell people my name, most laugh incredulously.

Personal Quotes (31) Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick. [on her father's ( Bruce Paltrow 's) struggle with throat cancer] It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that. [on her 1997 separation with Brad Pitt ] It really changed my life. When we split up, something changed, permanently, in me. My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be the same. I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring and it's not about the wedding. It's a grave thing, getting married. And it's easy to get swept up in the wrong things. I find Sex and the City (1998) irreverent and shocking. It's one step beyond how girls really talk.

I would do a cameo on that show in a flash. I realised life is so short and precious, you should do things that make you feel inspired, that push you and teach you something. I'd rather not have a big house, a huge closet of clothes, diamonds and a private plane, and instead a body of work that I'm proud of. I'm glad that some day my children will be able to see my father and hear his voice, get a sense of who he was. One of the things that disturbs me the most about the fact that he's dead, is that I feel like a statistic. I sort of feel like one of those people who was unfortunate and lost their father when they were 30, and life goes on. But he was so unique and so incredible, I don't like to think about it in those terms. I worked so much in my 20s and I really burnt the candle at both ends.

I wasn't too picky about what I did and I was lucky that I did some really good films, but I also did some really rubbish films, I think part of the downside about being so successful and winning the Oscar at the age of 26 is that I sort of became insouciant about the things that I chose. I thought, "Oh, I'll just try this, it'll be fun or I'll do that for the money." Things like that now I would absolutely never do. The simpler things are, the happier they are. The work gets more difficult as you get older. You learn more and you gather more experiences, there is deeper pain and higher highs. There are certain women in this business who have children and I just think, "You must never, never see them!". You can't do movies back to back and see your child if they go to school. Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business. [on being pregnant while filming Proof (2005)] It was very, very difficult. I was trying not to barf. I felt terrible. Even actresses that you really admire, like Reese Witherspoon , you think, another romantic comedy?

You know. You see her in something like Walk the Line (2005) and think, "God, you're so great!" And then you think, "Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?". But of course, it's for money and status. I just think, "Wouldn't it be great if all of those movies people went to see were about real women?". I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money. They talk about interesting things at dinner parties. I like living here because I don't tap into the bad side of American psychology, which is "I'm not achieving enough, I'm not making enough, I'm not at the top of the pile!". I'm very happy here [in London] and I really like the way the film industry works, everybody cares. I like that it doesn't have this big capitalistic feeling. When you do something in L.A., you really feel the crew are punching the clock. I sort of look at some peers of mine and I think, "No, you've got it all wrong!".

I just want to tell them all to have babies and be happy and not get sucked into that Hollywood thing. I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist. Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends. It's a pretty city, you know. British people don't seem to ask each other out on dates. If someone asked you out they're really going out on a limb, whereas in America it happens all the time. Someone will come up to you and ask you for dinner and you'll say, "Sure!" It's no big deal and no weight should be attached to it. It's only dinner, for God's sake. Yet in Britain, mostly what happens seems to be that people meet at work.

If there's a little something there, then they hang out together and, all of a sudden, they're boyfriend and girlfriend. It would be a lot easier on Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston now had they not talked to the press about each other and everything to begin with. I learned my lesson at 24. [on daughter Apple's accent] She says "Mummy" instead of "Mommy", I don't mind that. I will if she starts saying "basil" and "pasta" the English way, as that really drives me nuts. [on the paparazzi] If I have my daughter in the car and they are making me nervous, I'll do whatever I have to do. I keep a whole log. I take pictures of their cars, write down license plate numbers, everything. If they do it again, I can go to the police. I know my rights and, believe me, I will have them arrested. I will stop at nothing. [on Madonna ] She has evolved with so much wisdom and grace that I would say my favorite Madonna is today's Madonna. She's a beautiful product of all her explorations and incarnations.

(Style magazine, September 2006) I'd rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a tin. My father found joy in feeding the people he loved - genuine, bursting happiness. He instilled in me the idea that a meal made for your family is an expression of love. [on the "scenery" in View from the Top (2003)] It's like, all of a sudden, I'm in underwear for half the movie. When you're having dinner with your kids and your husband and someone says something funny or your dying laughing because your three-year-old made a joke, it doesn't matter what else is going on. That's real happiness. Women really need to examine why they're so vitriolic to other women. [on Johnny Depp ] Whether it's Morgan Freeman [ Se7en (1995)] at the beginning of my career or Johnny Depp in my last movie [ Mortdecai (2015)], I feel on-my-knees gratitude for being considered a good enough actor to work with actors of that caliber. Johnny is a true genius and when he works he envisages everything. You know I read the script and I thought it was really funny.

I have always wanted to work with Johnny and I'm so lucky they asked me as he is amazing. We had so much fun on set that it was hard not to laugh. I am who I am. I can't pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.

"It sounded so sweet and it conjures up such a lovely picture for me," she told Oprah. "It's biblical and... I just thought it sounded so lovely and clean. And then I just thought, 'Perfect.'" Two years later, she kept the biblical theme going and named her son Moses, which is also the name of a song Paltrow's husband, Coldplay rocker Chris Martin, wrote for his wife in 2003.

"The opening track, 'He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot,' absolutely blew my mind when I first heard it," Lee told Entertainment Weekly. "It was from this track that my wife, Beth, came up with the name Pilot for our son."

However, the "Girls Next Door" star defended her choice. "There are a lot of smug haters out there who bag on my choice of a name, but I don't care about what they think," she wrote on her blog.

She was a perfectly normal, well-adjusted, sporty girl, by the way, so I'm not worried about my daughter being 'traumatized' by having an unusual name. ... I want my daughter to be proud of who she is and learn to speak up and stand up for herself at a young age. I spent most of my life being a people-pleaser who worried about what other people thought or thought was cool and I don't want that for her."

"We couldn't quite agree on the name, so we call her Luna. She's lucky that way."

Her newest film, Iron Man - also starring Robert Downey Jr. - ranked no. 1 at the box office during its opening weekend in May, earning $104.2 million.

Between her debutante looks and her Hollywood–royalty pedigree, Paltrow is perpetually featured in ads and magazines.
